Helleborus foetidus 'Krenitsky' (Bear Claw Hellebore)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9 20" tall Origin: Western Europe

Web-Only! This seed strain of H. foetidus was shared with us by Chapel Hill NC plantsman Tom Krenitsky. Visitors to the garden have marveled at the exceptionally dark green, very serrate leaves, so we finally got around to propagating a few. As with all H. foetidus, the plants grow vigorously the first season forming a 20" tall stalk, clothed in dark green, hand-shaped leaves. After the second winter, the clumps are topped with 2' tall thick flower spikes with light green bells. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
